Third-party reviews

What customers like about Asus ZenPad 7.0 Z370CG (1GB + 8GB)

  • Elegant 'clutch-style' design that is compact and easy to hold with one hand
  • Modular system with interchangeable backplates like the 5.1-channel Audio Cover
  • Good IPS display quality with strong viewing angles and vibrant colors using Tru2Life technology
  • Voice-calling support with a dedicated micro-SIM slot
  • Expandable storage via a microSD card slot up to 128GB

What customers don't like about Asus ZenPad 7.0 Z370CG (1GB + 8GB)

  • Underwhelming performance from the Intel Atom x3 processor, leading to lag and stuttering
  • Poor battery life that often fails to reach the advertised 8 hours, sometimes lasting only 3-5 hours under heavy use
  • Unsuitable for high-end gaming; struggles with titles like Asphalt 8 and Marvel Future Fight
  • Camera quality is average at best, with slow autofocus and grainy results in low light
  • No built-in LED flash for the rear camera
  • Significant amounts of pre-installed 'bloatware' that cannot be fully uninstalled

Verdict

The Asus Zenpad 7.0 Z370CG is an entry-level 7-inch tablet featuring a 1280x800 IPS display, powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Intel Atom x3-C3230 processor with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage expandable up to 128GB via microSD. Notable characteristics include its unique semi-modular design with interchangeable back covers for accessories like the 'Audio Cover' (featuring 5.1 surround sound) or 'Power Case,' as well as 3G connectivity for voice calls. While it is praised for its premium clutch-inspired aesthetic, solid build quality, and decent 5MP rear camera, it suffers from significant performance lag during multitasking, weak battery life that often fails to meet the advertised 8 hours, and excessive pre-installed bloatware.
